Letter: AAR bringing new facility to the area?

Did anyone else notice? AAR is bringing an maintenance repair and overhaul facility to our airport. If I understand this correctly, the $40-million facility is to be built entirely with tax dollars?

Really? Our money? Why would a multi-billion-dollar corporation need to depend upon our hard-earned money to build a facility at Chicago Rockford International Airport? If risk-taking remains a part of AAR corporate culture, why are we responsible for the entire $40 million?
